Can I just say, what a great right up and explanation of the work needed. I fitted my detachable bar in less than 2 hours and done a very neat job of the bumper cut.

The wiring was a little worrying as I went to purchase the origional from Volvo at £56 and I was told when ordering it, it would need the SW upgrade if I needed the fog lights and reverse lights etc. I didnt, he said it would be ok then.
When I collected it 3 hours later it was a different story and a different sales man, and he said I would definately need it to make any of the lights work and he confirmed it with a mechanic, well it set me off worrying. Do I buy it or not? The software up grade would be £9 and labour £50 and of course VAT on top. It was now sounding not a good deal, costing £126.50, considering I had the lights module and electric plug supplied with the towbar (spliced one)
I chanced it, got it home plugged it all in, 10 minutes later and hey presto its fine.
What duff advice from the main dealers, was they just after money for nothing?

Thanks very much ABC for top advice and write up. Its worked for me Thanks!
